MICHIGAN — The number of people in the hospital being treated for COVID19 reached an all-time high on Tuesday.
According to state data, 4,158 patients are hospitalized with confirmed cases of the virus, with 663 patients locally. There are 896 people in the ICU and 530 people are on a ventilator.
While the east side of Michigan is behind much of those numbers, doctors say West Michigan is nowhere in the clear.
“Our trend is still going in that upward direction,” said Dr. Joshua Kooistra, chief medical officer at Spectrum Health West Michigan.
According to Kooistra, Spectrum Health is nearing hospitalization records of their own. Currently there are 314 patients, with about a quarter in the ICU. Last November, the health system hit a high, treating 358 patients.
